7 Reasons Randy Orton Has Nothing Left To Give WWE
5. Complete Overexposure
The current lack of depth on the roster is something that has put the company in a perilous position recently, but it has also left Orton without any fresh opponents. The fact that The Viper has been one of the company's work horses for the better part of the last four years, working nearly every house show and both Raw and SmackDown for long stretches of time, has meant that he has been in the ring with nearly every star in the company. Thus, fresh feuds and matchups are few and far between. That has not changed much lately, even with a wealth of young talent making their way to the main roster. Orton has already worked with Kevin Owens, perhaps the one guy that could have injected some life back into The Viper and led to a quality feud. Sure, it was just in a few throwaway Raw matches but the fans have been exposed to them regardless. As a babyface, a feud with someone like Neville is off the table and others, such as Bo Dallas, are way too far down the card for that to ever work out. That leaves the likes of Sheamus, whom Orton had a never-ending rivalry with earlier this summer, a rivalry that succeeded only in inducing boredom. His overuse and overexposure over the years has left him without any fresh rivalries and thus, another reason he really has nothing left to give WWE.
